94 years old (Born on May 18, 1930)
Happy Birthday, Laura! Another year wiser, and your poetic brilliance continues to shine brighter than ever. While you gracefully sidestepped the Beat movement—proving once again that true poets dance to their own rhythm—you've gifted us timeless verses like "The Inheritance," reminding us all why you're poetry's coolest rebel.Congratulations on your continued literary success and that well-deserved National Endowment for the Arts grant! Clearly, even official institutions recognize genius when they see it. Here's hoping this birthday brings you as much joy as you've brought readers everywhere—and perhaps a poem or two about cake wouldn't hurt either!
